wandering jew
Wandering Jew is a ground cover weed. It invades quickly and shades out and strangles other plants.
HOW TO CONTROL WANDERING JEW
Wandering Jew can be difficult to control because it usually takes 2-3 treatments to kill it fully and it readily sprouts from any live and dropped vegetative material. It does not set seed in NZ, but spreads readily as fragments of vegetative matter.
Spray with Kiwicare LAWNCLEAN HYDROCOTYLE with SPRAY STICK. Follow up with a second treatment in 2-3 months. Take care not to drop fragments when removing the plant and dispose of at a transfer station. Do not use in compost or as mulch.
About
Wandering Jew (also known as Wandering Willie) is a trailing, soft, hairless, perennial groundcover weed. Succulent, soft, creeping stems root at nodes touching the soil. The leaves are dark green (sometimes black), shiny, smooth and are oval with pointed tips. White flowers are produced from December to January but no fruit or seed is produced in New Zealand. Wandering Jew is originally from South America.
